His Dear Friend
One of his good friends made the trip from Massachusetts to the Fairview Rehabilitation Center to visit him. However, Peter Karpenski was most definitely not expecting to turn into the consignor of this 1943 Lincoln penny! He explained, “When he was in the nursing home, I asked him… would you like some notoriety?’ And he said, ‘Sure.’ And so here we are.”

Henry Ford Rumor
In his lifetime, there have been plenty of rumors that caught his attention. There was a rumor that made him hang onto this penny, the very coin that he found so many years ago. A lot of coin collectors said that Henry Ford promised that he would give a brand-new car to anyone who gets their hands on one of these legendary copper pennies. Back then, Don was desperate for a Ford car! The rumor eventually got debunked, but he did not give up his coin. Seventy years after he first found it, it was on auction at last.
